The man/woman in the middle who has the authority to snoop also has the authority to temper with certificates. The cost of doing that is not prohibitively high for the authority, therefore it should be a point against mandatory encryption. For little guys though, the cost of certificates can be too high. I don't think there's a conspiracy from Google etc to stiff competitions, but these guys probably don't care too much about some amateurs building toy webapps. Zhong Yu
